All the changes are exciting, but I admit for an
alumnus like me, it's sometimes hard to see fa-
miliar buildings come down. As a Purdue em-
ployee, it's a challenge working with the ever-
changing construction zones. However, I've sent
my own two children to Purdue and am confi-
dent the changes are helping better prepare cur-
rent and future generations of Boilermakers to
take giant leaps.
